The Soil Conservation guy says there is nearly 20 Acres of watershed coming into my proposed pond site. As you can see from the attached images, much of the watershed area is wooded or lawn.


I have shown in the second image a pond with approximately .75 surface acres. The concern is about silt and leaves. The soil consrvation recommends nothing less than 1 surface acre with this much watershed.



I certainly don't have the experience to "over rule" his recommendation. I am hoping that some of you folks do.

Thanks in advance.
